But overall I agree, and it's why I have written the command stream patches. Our problems are more on the CPU than GPU side. On the GPU we reach pretty much native speed on Nvidia cards with the proprietary driver. r600g doesn't get anywhere close, and neither do fglrx or OSX. See my FOSDEM presentation from last year.
A statement like "Wine can match Windows performance" will have to be evaluated on a game by game, OS by OS, driver by driver basis for a LONG time to come. Maybe forever.
My main point wrt a d3d9 mesa state tracker is not that it won't improve performance, but that it is, at the moment, an inefficient use of our time. The command stream which works everywhere has a much bigger impact. And no, we won't just put a random piece of code into our codebase. If we do that, we have to support and maintain it. Again, inefficient use of our time.

Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean Update Begins Rolling Out
The Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update began rolling out in Poland earlier today.
This is the first country to start receiving it and the rest of Europe should get it sometime in the near future.
The new firmware can be accessed OTA (over-the-air) or using Samsung KIES software. Samsung recommends that those performing the update use a Wi-Fi connection with at least 50 percent battery power.
Android 4.1, JellyBean on the Galaxy S3 brings with it Project Butter which makes for smoother UI animations, Google Now, offline voice typing support, a better notification area with expandable notifications, and better settings organization.
The update also features two different modes for homescreen behavior, a resizable pop-up play window, S Note which replaces S Memo, a faster web browser, and all around major performance enhancement.
Samsung is already planning the launch of the next-generation model, the Galaxy S4.
New rumors surfaced in the Asian publication the Korea Times earlier this week that point to the handset being unveiled in Feb. 2013 at the next Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The publication also stated that the device should be available in the early part of 2013.
Samsung reportedly made the decision to move forward with the Galaxy S4 shortly after the iPhone 5 was unveiled by Apple earlier this month. The Korea Times said that the company hopes to have its next flagship smartphone out by March of next year.
Rumored specifications for the Galaxy S4 include a 5-inch Super AMOLED 1080p HD display making it Samsung's first full-HD screen. The device might also be called the Galaxy S HD, according to the Korea Times.
It seems like Samsung might be jumping the gun after a pretty successful year with the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note. Making the screen larger on the Galaxy S4 might not be the right move since the S3 is already 4.8 inches wide. Apple's new iPhone is only 4 inches, a size the company probably picked for convenience reasons.

The Office of Marketing and Communications is located in Hopkins Hall. During the academic year, our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Summer hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Kimberly Young, director of the university's Master's in Strategic Leadership program, traveled to Milan to participate in the International Congress of Internet Addiction Disorders from March 20-22.
Young is a licensed psychologist and internationally known expert on Internet dependence. In 1995, she founded the Center for Internet Addiction, the first evidence-based Digital Detox rehabilitation program in the country.
Experts from more than 12 countries traveled to Milan to exchange ideas and research on what Young calls a growing epidemic. She began the three-day conference as the keynote speaker.
"I was trying to understand what everyone else is doing (in regards to Internet addiction)," she said. "This is the first conference entirely devoted to Internet addiction, which is an important first step in establishing credibility of the disorder in the field."
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective method to treat Internet addiction, according to a study detailed in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions. Young authored the December 2013 article, titled "Treatment Outcomes Using CBT-IA with Internet-Addicted Patients."
Although Young has done her own research and organized an effective treatment method, she is hoping to bring ideas from other countries to help people in the United States affected by Internet addiction.
"In America, we've done very little to combat the problem compared to other countries. I came back thinking that I really need to begin raising awareness of this," she said. "It's not necessarily about Internet addiction, but the use of technology in our lives. We're so consumed by it."
Young hopes to focus more on prevention of this addiction, especially in young children.
"Other countries, like Korea for example, have a plan," Young said. "From the government level, they screen every 10-year-old child for Internet addiction and place children who they believe to be at risk through educational programs. I'd like to see more research in early childhood development such as in France, which requires prevention programs in every school."
As the only American present, Young said she was able to gain a global perspective of this issue despite the language barrier.
"I got a sense of culture and my work and how important all of this is to many people in terms of understanding Internet addiction disorder," she said. "It was a great experience overall, and it was great to be able to represent the university that way."
Young has published more than 40 articles on the impact of online abuse and travels nationally to speak about her research. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, London Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, CBS News, Fox News, Good Morning America and ABC's World News Tonight.

Rancid/Dropkick Murphys 2017 Tour Tee (Black)
This summer's "From Boston to Berkeley" was one of the best tours we've ever done and we still get messages from people about it every day. We have had a lot of requests about the leftover t-shirts from this run and while there is not much left, we will not be printing them again. However, we wanted to give you one last chance to get one if you missed the show, or didn't get a chance to get one when you were there. Once these are gone they will be completely gone and sizes are limited so if something is sold out when you see this, we are sorry!

RiverTown Community Church (Blountstown, Florida, USA)
The RiverTown Community Church, Blountstown, Florida, began as the Bethel Conservative Mennonite Church. The first Mennonites to settle in the Blountstown, Florida area came from Greenwood, Delaware and Hartville, Ohio in the fall of 1952. This was the result of a visit to the area by the Colonization Committee of the Conservative Mennonite Mission Board; thus Bethel was a church plant through colonization.
The congregation organized as a mission church on 11 April 1954, with Raymond Byler as the minister. Bethel built a meetinghouse in 1957 that was dedicated on 15 September. Bethel Conservative Mennonite Church, Blountstown, Florida, was first listed in the Mennonite Yearbook of 1955 as the Red Oak congregation, with 33 members. In 1958 the Yearbook listed it as Bethel. Raymond Byler served until 1973 when he moved to Jackson, Mississippi to take charge of a mission there. Other pastors who served here included Harold Weldy (1970-1980), Oscar Schrock (1972-after 1983); Ivan Nissley (1976- ). In 1983 the congregation had 83 members. Paul Smith was the lead minister in 2009.
The congregation was originally a member of the Conservative Mennonite Conference; it is now an independent community church.

Dell XPS 13 - Fast & Furious
Dell XPS 13 - It's About Time
We've waited a long time for Dell's entry into the Ultrabook market, so was it worth the wait? The XPS 13 boasts one of the sleekest 13-inch form-factors out there, utilizing edge-to-edge damage resistant Corning Gorilla Glass bonded to the lid to fit a nearly bezel-free 13.3-inch screen into a notebook barely bigger than most 11-inch models.
Additionally, the base of the unit is made from a lightweight carbon fiber composite that makes it ideal for racing around the city in unsanctioned illegal street races (probably not, but more on that later).
It's hard to look at the XPS 13 and not think of Apple's MacBook Air. From the machined aluminum lid, to the tapered wedge-shape profile, there's more than just a passing resemblance. Of course, it's more compact and Dell has added a few extra accent touches like a shiny metal ring around the base, but let's be honest, they're fooling no-one.
Opening it up, you'll immediately notice that the lid is heftier than most other ultrabooks, a result of the combination of the thicker than usual aluminum used (it's nearly twice as thick as Apple's) and the heavy Gorilla Glass. While the hinges are smooth and solid, the notebook can be a bit tricky to open as there are no protrusions or cutaways to lift. Having said that, once you've got it, it can be opened one handed, thanks in part to the heavy lid.
Display & Audio
We were disappointed that Dell opted for the standard 1366 x 768 pixels resolution display, missing out on the chance to impress us with a 1440 x 900 pixels resolution like the one found on the MacBook Air or even a 1600 x 900 pixels display like the ASUS Zenbook's (ASUS has in fact just announced a Zenbook refresh coming soon with full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution). Furthermore, the XPS 13 display is really glossy, which can make it a pain to use in bright lighting.
On the other hand, the Gorilla Glass itself looks gorgeous and the screen really excels when viewed indoors. Colors are vivid and it's exceptionally bright - Dell's spec sheet says 300 nits, but it looks brighter. Even with the brightness set to 50% for our battery test, it was more than enough for comfortable movie watching. We're just dreaming about how it would have looked with a higher resolution.
Complementing the eye-pleasing display, audio on the XPS 13 is a notch above other Ultrabooks. Interestingly, the speakers are hidden under the keyboard which, thanks to the wedge shape, lets them blast directly at you. It's a clever design, made all the more better by the XPS 13's extra loud volume and a crisp, balanced sound. Of course, it doesn't sound extraordinarily better, but it was a little more distinguished from the run-of-the-mill Ultrabooks so far.
The interior of the XPS 13 features a nice, soft-touch rubberized finish over a magnesium alloy base. The finish both looks and feels great and delivers the best of both worlds: staying cool after prolonged use, without delivering that initial icy cold touch of bare metal.
The XPS 13 uses a full-sized, backlit, chiclet keyboard, with finger-friendly concave keys - the same type we saw on the XPS 15z . There's a generous amount of travel with the keys, which makes the keyboard a lot more usable than the often too-shallow feeling of some other Ultrabooks. The backlight LED glows a bright blue color, which looks especially nice in the dark and if you leave it for a few minutes it turns off automatically - ideal when you're watching a movie with the lights off and don't want the distraction of glowing keys right below the screen. Additionally, we noted that the lighted keys aren't bright enough to distract you and has just the right amount of glow. The top row of fucntion keys double up as multimedia controls, while the arrow keys also function as Home, End, Page up and Page down. In essence, the key arrangement is almost typical of this class of compact notebooks.
The trackpad is one of the larger ones we've seen on an Ultrabook, measuring 60x100mm, although it's still a tad smaller than the one on the MacBook Air (75x115mm). Dell states that it's made of glass, but we can't be too sure as it has more of a Teflon coated feel and it's not as smooth nor fast as other glass trackpads we've tried.
Like the trackpads on other Ultrabooks, it's a clickpad without any physical buttons. You can perform a 'two-finger click' to right-click, or alternatively, a small line divides the bottom left and right side for right-clicking. Pre-installed software allows for some pretty interesting gesture options, such as a downward 4-finger swipe to show the desktop. The trackpad is responsive, and the gestures work well, although they're not the most intuitive, and might take a bit of getting used to. Probably a smoother and larger trackpad would have aided it further. One additional feature of the trackpad is its palm recognition feature to thwart accidental trackpad inputs and thus does away with the need for a trackpad lock function.
Connectivity Ports
If there's anything that holds the XPS 13 back, it is its minimalist approach to connectivity ports. Noticeably absent are HDMI, VGA, RJ-45 LAN ports, and a card reader. Almost every other Ultrabook has at least one of these four mentioned, making the XPS 13 one of the most sparse offerings out there. To its credit, you could say Dell had to make such a decision to help make the XPS 13 a much more compact notebook. After all, the mentioned ports are certainly good to have, but they are easily had via converter plugs and other USB-based accessories. In the end , you'll have to weigh the options if the lack of these ports would irritate your usage needs out of the box.

Pictures of Kim Kardashian's Wedding Guests
Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Mario Lopez, and More Head Home From Kim Kardashian's Wedding
Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Mario Lopez, and More Head Home From Kim Kardashian's Wedding
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries's wedding was a star-studded affair in Montecito last night. Guests like Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough were spotted on their way into the event, and once the party wrapped up, the attendees headed out of the private estate. Demi Lovato left in her car solo while Lindsay Lohan and mom Dina had a driver. Mario Lopez and his girlfriend Courtney Mazza were decked out in black and white as they waited for transportation alongside other partygoers. Kim's sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner changed out of their glamorous Vera Wang gowns and into white track suits, while Bruce Jenner still had on his bowtie as he made his way off the property. Their big day may be over but there's more fun in store for newlyweds Kim and Kris, who will celebrate their marriage with another bash in NYC later this month.

Great Art Deco Spaceship! Thanks for sharing the link, by the way, to see the details in context ;-)
Capturing Manchester and beyond
Travel around half an hour from central London, and you will find this gem. Eltham Palace deserves its name – it's a 1930s stately pile with a cool, stylish Art Deco interior, dripping with pale wood and boasting a reception area which sits under a futuristic glass dome.
But it's not all muted modernity here. A magnificent great hall originating from the 15th century with a towering oak ceiling and a minstrels' gallery is the truly neck-pivoting, jaw-dropping sight. And out in the tranquil grounds, you find a sturdy old stone bridge and even an ancient underpass.
It's heaving with visitors on Bank Holiday weekends, but it isn't hard to see why. Enjoy this brief impression…
Great Art Deco Spaceship! Thanks for sharing the link, by the way, to see the details in context ;-)
Just love Eltham Palace.
I was impressed too, Diana. Apart from the crowds! The grounds are lovely too, which was the source of an entirely separate set of shots.
A lovely set of images; again another place from my home city that I've not visited…
Thank you Richard! Hmmm, I'm not so sure about the circular gallery, but the photos were so many different shapes that they looked a bit messy in the usual format.
Great gallery…..particularly like the simplicity and symmetry (apart from the people) of the minstrel's gallery
Thank you Mark, it was a fruitful place photographically speaking. There were so many people milling about that day!
The circular display makes for an interesting look but the images look so much better (well there is more to them) in the rectangular format. Definitely a fascinating place.
Magnificent indeed! I particularly like the 'Circle of lights'.
Thank you Noeline :) Yes, the pretty art deco roof lends itself to numerous uses…
A really interesting and captivating place. Mike I love the use of the circular framing to give a sneak peek into your work. The circle of lights is really captivating. Hope you have a great weekend
Thank you James. I wasn't so convinced about the circular frames, but the regular framing looked a real mess with so many shapes and sizes of photo. Glad you liked it, though.

Arts & Crafts
The Arts & Crafts style was formed as a part of the decorative arts movement of the late nineteenth century, becoming popular in the United States in the early twentieth century. The style was a response to the industrial era, where handcrafted work was being replaced by mass-produced, factory-made home wares. Textiles, ceramics, furniture, and metal work were handmade by artists in simple forms for home use. The objects created were typically functional as well as decorative. The color palette of homes decorated in the Arts & Crafts style is one that reflects tones that are found in nature, with warm oranges and browns as well as various shades of green.
Elements of design:
- Household items have the look of being handcrafted
- Handcrafted items often include textiles, tile work, metal work, and ceramics
- Furnishings are simple and functional, not overly ornamental
- Oftentimes furniture is built into rooms, as a part of the architectural design
- Construction elements are exposed to show handiwork, such as exposed beams or joints in the construction of furniture
- Autumnal color palette with tones that reflect nature

The new, non-partisan institute will offer students at the University of Chicago extracurricular opportunities to study and participate in civic life in Chicago and around the nation. Three programs will form the core of the initiative: A new program of visiting fellows and policy practitioners, an expanded set of policy and public interest internships based on UChicago's innovative Jeff Metcalf Fellows Program, and a series of public lectures about policy and political life.
Programming through the institute officially will begin in early 2013. Its inaugural director will be College alumnus David Axelrod, AB'76, an accomplished political journalist, strategist, and policy adviser. Axelrod will begin leading the institute after the 2012 presidential campaign.
"A large number of students in the College want to explore careers in social and public service, so we believe there will be widespread student interest in this new institute," says John Boyer, dean of the College. "The exchange of ideas and interaction with policy practitioners will become more routine, and our students will benefit greatly from these pragmatic opportunities."
"The new institute's programs are a great fit with the Chicago Harris mission of training outstanding professionals for careers in public life," says Colm O'Muircheartaigh, dean of the Harris School of Public Policy Studies. "This is a wonderful augmentation of Irving Harris' vision of connecting the School's programs to a truly broad array of opportunities."
Creating new paths to careers in public service
The institute will be publicly announced on Jan. 19 at a webcast event, which will include a panel of prominent political figures and commentators discussing the 2012 election.
The institute will encourage and support College and Chicago Harris students who wish to find careers in the public service and non-profit sectors. It also will benefit existing programs across the University, including those connected to policy, law, business, and related fields. In particular, the institute will work closely with the faculty of Chicago Harris. Organizers also expect to make use of the city of Chicago's many policy opportunities and its distinctive political history.
For Axelrod, the new role as institute director will bring him back to his deep roots in the University community and Hyde Park neighborhood. Axelrod's own passion for political journalism began when he was a College student in the 1970s, and he says he saw a need for programs and mentorship that could help more College students pursue such careers.
"My goal is to introduce more students to the spirit of public service," Axelrod says. "To me it's the most exciting, interesting, and vital way to spend one's life, and it's a tremendous way for students to have an impact on the issues they care about. I hope to help fire those passions. We need bright, motivated young people to go into careers in public service."
"Many students at the University of Chicago are interested in exploring and understanding how the distinctive education they are experiencing can be connected to a professional life in public service," says President Robert J. Zimmer. "With this new institute, we hope to significantly expand their experiences and opportunities, so they more fully appreciate and are prepared for any number of routes of public service."
In the College, the institute will use existing non-curricular programs to create new paths to careers in politics and public policy. The Metcalf Fellows program provides College students with more than 450 internships each year, in locations across the nation and in countries worldwide, offering vital career preparation in a diverse array of professional fields such as business, law, medicine, the arts, education, journalism, and public service. The Chicago Careers in Public and Social Service program, one of eight career exploration programs sponsored by the University's office of Career Advising and Planning Services and by the College, gives students resources, contacts, and advising to pursue careers in public and social service. These ongoing efforts will provide a foundation for the Institute of Politics to create new programs of internships and visiting fellows.
At Chicago Harris, the institute will help expand the graduate school's thriving internship program. Along with the Chicago Harris Career Development Office, the Harris internship program provides public policy graduate students with vital training and career advancement. Chicago Harris also will interact with the institute through the school's partnership in the undergraduate public policy program.
Axelrod has served as a key strategist and aide to President Barack Obama, including service in the White House as senior adviser. He left that role in early 2011 and is currently a strategist for President Obama's re-election campaign. After that campaign ends in November, Axelrod says he will focus on helping inspire and train the next generation of political leaders.
Non-partisan institute will draw range of views
The Institute of Politics is a non-partisan initiative. Consistent with the University's tradition of wide-ranging political debate, it will bring together leaders, fellows, and students from a broad spectrum of political beliefs and experiences.
Over the past few months, current students and faculty members expressed deep interest in a new Institute of Politics during informal discussions with Axelrod and University leaders. Stephen Sunderman, president of the University of Chicago College Republicans, was one of the students who spoke with Axelrod. He says the new institute will enrich the high level of intellectual discussion at the University with more political engagement.
"The institute that Mr. Axelrod will direct fills an appetite that many of us have had for political discourse that transcends the theoretical and concerns itself with pressing political issues," says Sunderman, an economics major. "This is an exciting opportunity that will bring multiple political views front and center on campus through stimulating speakers and fruitful debate."
The University of Chicago has a long tradition of diversity of political thought, embracing innovative thinkers with an array of political viewpoints. In addition to preeminent faculty members who have shaped ideas that changed the course of politics, the University has given rise to some of the most noted political leaders of the last century. The list of alumni and former faculty members includes Sen. Paul Douglas, Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, Sen. Charles Percy, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, U.S. Attorney General Edward Levi, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, and President Barack Obama.
Alumni of the University also have made prominent contributions to public service journalism, including Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist David Broder, AB'47, AM'51; New York Times columnist David Brooks, AB'83; Pulitzer-winning investigative journalist Daniel Gilbert, AB'05; Washington Post Pulitzer-winning publisher and author Katharine Graham, AB'38; Pulitzer-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, AB'58; New York Times editorial board member Brent Staples, AM'76, PhD'82; and Pulitzer-winning Chicago writer Studs Terkel, PhB'32, JD'34.
The Institute of Politics will carry forward that legacy of public service, says Elisabeth Clemens, professor of sociology at UChicago and co-editor of the journal Studies in American Political Development.
"Mr. Axelrod's new role represents an exceptional opportunity for students to engage with the world of political practice," Clemens says. "The institute will provide a setting in which Chicago students can do what Chicago students do so well — reflect, compare, analyze — before they embark upon professional careers in public service and policymaking."
The palpable enthusiasm among students and faculty members was a major reason why Axelrod wanted to help build the new program at the University of Chicago, he says.
"It was clear to me as I talked with students and faculty that there was a real hunger for an institute like this to channel their interest in public policy and politics," Axelrod says. "There will be students who take part in this program and, as a result, will make the choice to go into politics as a noble, essential profession. Whatever side of political debates they may be on, we need to turn their intellectual power to the challenges facing our world."

The Lower Oder Valley National Park is Germany's first riverside meadow national park. It covers 60 km of meadowland on both the German and the Polish banks of the river Oder, offering visitors picturesque scenery and flowering dry grassland.
The Lower Oder Valley National Park, located in Brandenburg in the north-east of Germany, is home to many species of wildlife. In addition to scarce and protected birds such as the white-tailed eagle, black stork and aquatic warbler, visitors may also be able to spot the rare beaver building dams. More than 40 types of fish and 50 different species of mammal complete this diverse range of wildlife.
Due to its special significance as a resting and wintering ground for many bird species, the national park attracts hordes of visitors every year. The sight of more than 13,000 cranes descending to their migration roosts in the Oder Valley is an unforgettable experience.
Besides these remarkable natural spectacles the national park offers visitors a wide range of other attractions, including the medieval tower of Stolpe Castle, the historical tobacco barns near Friedrichsthal, the castle near Zitzen, the medieval town fortifications and St. Stephen's Church in Grats and the late-Gothic church in Criewen.
Frequent river cruises through the Lower Oder Valley and weekly cycle and walking tours along the river are a great way to experience the beautiful natural scenery.

Journal Article
Assessing the Drivers of Virtual Knowledge Management Impact in European Firms' Performance: an Exploratory Analysis pp277-286
© Jun 2009 Volume 7 Issue 2, ICICKM 2008, Editor: Kevin O'Sullivan, pp199 - 296
Look inside Download PDF (free)
e‑Business is a phenomenon that has progressed over the past decades at record speed, with considerable promise and hype. It has been embraced with varying degrees of enthusiasm and impact by both large and SME firms. Parallel with its development, E‑Business has attracted research interests, seen in a plethora of new modules, programmes, models and tools. Knowledge Management (KM) is one tool that has seemed to gain a more relevant role, especially as managing knowledge becomes increasingly important to all companies. Appropriate KM practices within organisations can be seen as one of the prerequisites of enhancement of continuous performance improvement in the interne‑based context. Thus, our aim is to develop a conceptual framework related to KM practices in a virtual context and to identify the nature of the relationship existing in those knowledge‑driven elements and performance achievements. This paper aims to bridge the gap between the KM and e‑business performance‑related literatures from the viewpoint of European firms by establishing a model tested in European companies. For this purpose, we used a structural equation modelling analysis. The results show that KM has a positive impact on the maximization of e‑business performance and that some elements individually have a positive influence on e‑business performance. As limitations of the study, we consider the need for more research into this field and the inclusion of news elements such as technological readiness and management support to KM initiatives. The present study advances knowledge on the nature of the relative importance of different components of Internet‑based KM as drivers of e‑business performance and reinforce its importance as an integrated e‑business tool.

"I'll link to you, I promise!"
My most frequently broken promise ever. Many great blogs rise and fell before I finally updated my blogroll. I'M SORRY!
So this morning, I took a few hours to fix my side bar. I updated the World of Logs section. (I didn't update the Paladinning section because my guide for Pandaria is so horribly outdated that I die of embarrassment every time I notice someone reading it.) And, of course, I did the highly anticipated (mostly by me) link roundup.
As usual, I disclaim that I don't know every paladin blog on the internet. If your paladin blog or your friend's paladin blog is missing, not only are you welcome to let me know, but I will also love you forever with my REAL HEART for pointing me toward awesome new reads. I've been pretty reclusive on the internet lately and am feeling out of touch, so please, don't be shy to educate me.
Holy Paladins 4eva (and where you can go RIGHT NOW to read about us in 5.4)
The additions I should have made ages and ages ago are Paladiner and Intellect Plate. The Holy Paladin community had become quiet and complacent over the past year or so (funnily coinciding somewhat with Kurn's retirement…) and information became harder and harder to find.
Enter Paladiner and Lucydin.
Paladiner started off by introducing some much needed theorycrafting to the scene and contributing a number of boss guides. Most of his content is aimed at those looking to run heroic content, but even if you're just starting out or sticking to LFR/normal modes, you should always have his blog in your reader for quick reference, should the need arise.
Lucydin (with the occasional help from her friends) at Intellect Plate, on the other hand, has a number of solid guides that will teach everyone, from beginners to veterans, a thing or two. Each guide is fairly comprehensive and, I imagine, takes a long time to write, so don't expect updates several times a week. What you can expect, however, are regular interesting and well-written articles about holy paladins, raiding and more.
As for the most current 5.4 discussions (since you're not likely to find any on this blog until 5.4 is an outdated topic), check out the results of Bouchbagette's experiments at Full Spectrum Holy Pally. For some less numbery talk, Getsu has written his 5.4 thoughts over at his sanctuary. And if audio is more your thing, Megacode's Healing Spec goes over our changes as well.
For once, most of our longstanding holy pally bloggers are still writing away (yay!) and I don't think I had to delete anyone off the list. If you're looking for a link to Kurn's blog, I moved her to the "You Blog Enjoyment Guaranteed" section. Be sure to buy her kickass guild leader guide, even if you don't plan on leading a guild anytime soon. Her insight, interesting thoughts and distinct writing style make her worth reading, no matter the topic.
And in MORE good news, I was happy to notice that Gryphonheart at The Lion Guard has been updating once in a while. Not so much about Holy Pallies, but all updates are good updates.
Other Paladins
As for the Others, most are still blogging along, though some new ret pally bloggers would be much appreciated. Light's Fury has some good guides but nothing since 5.1 and Colin/Jack has quit raiding (/sad). Where are all the ret paladins?
New to the list is Arvash at The Crimson Hammer, who has been writing steadily for well over a year and who I've enjoyed in my feed reader (which gets updated far more often than my blogroll) for some time now. Arvash does a little bit of everything, but is primarily a tank (according to his about page). You too can follow his adventures by adding The Crimson Hammer to your blog reader.
Your Blog Enjoyment Guaranteed
This one is always tricky to update because I follow a ton of blogs, but don't want to flood my already endless link section with even more links. I try to highlight blogs that are particularly original and accessible, but in the end, my reasons for adding a blog boil down to "BECAUSE I WANTED TO OKAAAYYYY?"
This time around I added Katherinne's The WoW is in The Details which is my favorite blog these days. She scouts out cool little things all over Azeroth and beyond and shares them for our (and probably Blizzard's art team's) enjoyment. She updates often so you can see new little tidbits of WoW almost every day.
I also added Navimie's The Daily Frostwolf, a blog who's updates I've come to look forward to. I've been out of touch with the blogging scene for awhile so I usually won't find a blog until someone physically points me to one. There was a phase, awhile back, where my entire blogroll was posting about how they loved Navimie. "I should check out this Navimie person", I thought. So I did. And I was impressed. I never thought I'd enjoy reading about someone else's raids, achievements and friends, but she's such a good writer that she could write about anything and make it interesting. By now, she certainly doesn't need an introduction, but if you, like me, haven't been following the Twisted Nether lately, her blog would be a good place to start reading again. (Her writing style, although very unique to her, reminds me a lot of Larisa's from the Pink Pigtail Inn days, especially when she gets into deeper topics. I get nostalgic!)
The Godmother's ALT:ernative is another selection from my Favorite's folder. Her frequent posts are as varied as the characters she plays, with topics ranging from guild leadership to news to reflections to fictions, but always have at least two things in common: they are a pleasure to read and add some extra perspective on the game. An excellent addition to any WoW feed reader!(My apologies for missing this blog when I first published this post!)
Got suggestions? I want to have them.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm in desperate need of new blogs to read. I'll be happy to get my eyes on any kind of blog, but paladin blogs and thought-provoking blogs get a special kind of love. Comment me, email me or twitter me your links and help satisfy my cravings for new reading materials!

The road to the mythical kingdom of Westeros now passes through Boston, as a local video game company launches a new game based on the popular television series "Game of Thrones."
Titled Game of Thrones Ascent, the game debuts Thursday on the Facebook social network. Fans of the HBO series can play as nobles in the service of the great families portrayed on the show. Facebook friends can join forces online to complete challenging tasks. Or they can compete for the wealth and status they'll need to sway the destiny of the Seven Kingdoms.
But Disruptor Beam Inc., the small Boston game development house that has built Game of Thrones Ascent, faces a more arduous task. It must find an audience for a new online game, even as the growth of social gaming has begun to ebb.
Facebook reported no growth in its gaming revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012. Zynga Inc., the San Francisco company that dominated Facebook gaming with titles like FarmVille and Words With Friends, lost $209 million last year.
Jon Radoff, Disruptor Beam's founder and chief executive, said his game's deeper, more sophisticated content will attract gamers who have grown bored with simpler fare. "You've got these moral shades of gray, you've got the complexity of human interaction, and that's what we were interested in bringing to life in a game," Radoff said.
While the TV series features assassinations, duels, and major battles, the Facebook edition is all about strategy. "You're not going to put a sword in your hand and wave it around and start hacking at stuff," said Radoff. Instead, "it's closer to a board game." Players hire virtual soldiers, build castles, and go on quests in search of treasure, all with an eye to becoming the highest-ranking noble in the land.
"There's so much in the game for people to do and so much to explore," said Hank Howie,
Facebook members will be able to play the game for free. But as with many Facebook games, they can choose to purchase special abilities and tools that make the experience easier and more entertaining.
Radoff said that game items will cost anywhere from 10 cents to $20. But gamers will be able to play the entire game without spending a cent.
Simply winning the right to build the game was a major coup for Radoff's small company.
The industry is dominated by giant companies like Electronic Arts Inc. and Activision Blizzard Inc., which often deploy hundreds of programmers, artists, and writers to create a single game. In addition, HBO's parent company, Time Warner Inc., operates a video game business of its own.
But Radoff came up with his own proposal for a Facebook game set in Westeros. Then he successfully pitched it to George R. R. Martin, the novelist whose best-selling books inspired the TV series.
Martin was unavailable to be interviewed, but in a blog posting last May he praised the early work on the game. "Jon and his designers took great pains to make sure the flavor of the novels is here," he wrote.
Or at least most of the flavor. The books and TV show feature brutal violence and explicit sex; not so the Facebook version. "We geared it toward a PG-13 type of rating," said Radoff.
Still, none of it will matter if Game of Thrones Ascent fails to attract a lot of players. "If you don't generate enough critical mass of both paying and nonpaying users, the game doesn't really get off the ground," said industry analyst Brett Sappington of Parks Associates in Dallas. "If there are not many other players, it's not very interesting."
But Sappington said Disruptor Beam's new game has a good chance of success. Despite the slowdown in Facebook gaming, tens of millions continue to play. Besides, he added, the "Game of Thrones" franchise "is a very hot property right now."

A molecular biologist, John Loke investigates the genetic basis for disorders of sex development and cancer. He dissected the findings of genetic discoveries into intricate pathways and is currently studying in great detail the MAP kinase pathway in gonadal development by flow cytometry proteomics and next generation parallel sequencing. His recent publication in the American Journal of Human Genetics (2010 Dec 10; 87(6):898-904) on the role of MAP3K1 as "Genetic Switch" in human sex divergence during development, was widely received by the media and the scientific community.
He is also working closely with Drs. Ostrer and Pearlman to further the development of the metastatic signature for prostate and breast cancer predictions so it can be used to identify people's risks for having a disease, or its outcome once it has occurred.

Why? The new ones are more realistic, ornate, and cool!
I guess it's alright, I just prefer the old one as it's much more useful.

#1 Christmas Cards and Care Packages11-26-2008, 07:12 PM
My Sergeant Major passed along an email she got from her relatives back home, apparently people are getting a grassroots thing going to send Christmas cards to the wounded troops this year back in the States. I'm putting mine together now, just thought ya'll might be interested to contribute as well. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.
When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:
A Recovering American Soldier/Marine
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

Good and easy idea.
I'll kick your thread even though I don't care for the "XMas" in the title.
One more thing; I want to say thanks to all of you who've been supporting us over here. As unpopular as the war is, the American people haven't forgotten about all of us who serve in it. I've personally gotten several care packages from America Supports You and people send cards & letters all the time. You have no idea how good it feels to know the majority of America still has our backs. Thanks again!"Don't vote. It only encourages the bastards." -PJ O'Roarke
Turns out this is not a good idea according to snopes.Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages and letters, addressed to "Any Wounded Soldier" that Walter Reed will not be accepting these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense.
In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "Any Wounded Service Member" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered.
A good idea but in this day and age of nutbags sending stuff through the mail they need to take precautions.

Holiday Mail for Heroes, run by the American Red Cross can get the cards to our heroes. Or, the military is also suggesting making a donation to one of the charities that helps troops and veterans.
Thanks for the catch everyone! I emailed the information to my Sergeant Major, she's going to get the word out to the unit and all our families to pitch in. :D"Don't vote. It only encourages the bastards." -PJ O'Roarke

A distant cousin of mine is in the Army and currently stationed in Afghanistan.
He's a Senior NCO who is still making frequent trips outside the wire patrolling for insurgents.
He's stationed at a Forward Operating Base, so a lot of niceties are probably pretty slim pickings.
Let me know if anyone wants info for care packages.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________
About once a week I'll be updating this post with some general info about deployed members of the military. If at anytime you want to send a care package, just shoot me a PM, and I'll give you their mailing info.
Here is a good list of items that are generally well recieved.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
This particular person did not. Was just something nice I decided to do for him, given the hell he's putting himself through for his family.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

Even I am not an orange fan, I am one of those people who painted their living room in orange. This is not a paradox at all. For interior designs orange is one of the greatest colors because you can combine it with different other colors and styles.
Even if you choose a pale hue or go with a flashy orange, the effect will be amazing. The more eccentric ones can choose to gather orange and other contrasting colors for a more intense effect. Orange is very nicely combined with its complementary color, blue, but you should be very careful how you make this combination. A good result depends on the nuances, proportions, position or forms.

would this be to difficult to do? I dont need like a 100% working program just want to make a example of what it can be for class.

That's odd - I can see it (in FF). (If I wanted to sound knowledgeable I'd ask what version you're using. But I don't know either how to check or what to do about it.)
I suppose it might be something to do with the platform you're using; mine - for my sins - is Windows 7 <hawk-spit>.

LAS VEGAS – WEC standout turned UFC fighter Josh Grispi (14-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) may not get a chance to realize a title opportunity that slipped through his fingers with the injury of featherweight champ Jose Aldo (18-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
UFC president Dana White said today that Grispi is not guaranteed a fight with Aldo if he's victorious Saturday at UFC 125 against fellow octagon newcomer Dustin Poirier.
"He's in the mix, though," White said.
Grispi was pulled from a fight with Erik Koch (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at November's WEC 52 event to face Aldo in the co-main event of Saturday's fight card. But Aldo shortly afterward withdrew from the booking with a serious back injury, and Poirier (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) was subsequently slotted in his place. The bout was then moved to the UFC 125 preliminary card, as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported.
It was a disappointing turn for Grispi, but the UFC president said it's part of the business.
"Look at (Yushin) Okami," White said. "He was set-up for the title before. Stuff happened, and he didn't get the title fight. It happens sometimes. This thing just keeps on rolling.
"If Grispi wins and Aldo wins, he'll get in the mix. It will happen."
On the bright side, the Japanese standout Okami eventually did get a title shot, though it took him a little longer than many fans anticipated (and it was set back in October 2009 by a decision loss to future contender Chael Sonnen).
Grispi has yet to reach a stumbling block. The 22-year-old railroaded four consecutive opponents within the first round in his time with the WEC. He returned with a vengeance in June after a yearlong injury layoff and choked out veteran L.C. Davis at WEC 49.
So whenever that title opportunity comes, the youngster certainly looks poised to accept. First, though, he must get through Poirier, who went 1-1 in the now-shuttered WEC.
Meanwhile, Aldo's layoff may be shorter than expected.
"I think we already have a fight for Aldo," White said.
The UFC executive declined to offer specifics.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Paul scored eight of his 27 points in a dynamic overtime performance, and the Los Angeles Clippers moved to the brink of their second playoff series victory in 36 years with a 101-97 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, taking a 3-1 series lead.
Blake Griffin had 30 points and seven assists before fouling out with 2:26 left in overtime for the Clippers, who blew a 10-point lead in the final 4½ minutes of regulation before their All-Star point guard took charge in the overtime.
Mike Conley scored a career playoff-high 25 points and Rudy Gay had 23 on 8-of-25 shooting for the Grizzlies, who couldn't match Paul's late-game poise in another thrilling chapter of a highly entertaining series.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in Memphis, with Game 6 back at Staples Center on Friday if necessary.

Their leader in wind is Estonia, with 142MW of installed capacity. The country's government plans to add 200MW annually until 2013, then 400MW a year until 2020. But there has been a shortage in electricity transmission since the Soviet era, and this is jamming the pipeline.
Runner-up Lithuania, with 92MW installed, has abandoned plans for regional wind quotas. Meanwhile, uncertainties over market prices for wind power prices bode ill.
Even if new projects are proposed in third-place Latvia, with only 29MW, the grid can handle no more than 200MW more wind anyway (Windpower Monthly, March 2010).
Belgium's confidence in making its European 2020 target of 13% of all energy from renewables is shaky. It faces the difficult task of sharing the target between the regional governments of Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels and, for offshore renewables, the federal government.
Yet, renewable energy association Edora is hopeful. If aggressive steps are taken to speed expansion of the grid and facilitate project permitting, it foresees a scenario in which nearly 18% of energy is to be supplied by renewables in 2020. This assumes a high degree of energy efficiency.
A projected 3.5GW of onshore wind would produce 7.7TWh of electricity in 2020, while 2.8GW of offshore wind would generate 9.1TWh. Combined, that would represent 57% of total generation from renewables.
Greece says it will meet its European 2020 renewables target largely through electricity production rather than through cuts in transport or heating. Around 40% of electricity generation in 2020 will come from renewables. The target for wind is 8.5GW, around 60% of the overall target for renewables. The problem is how to convert these good intentions into reality.
Luxembourg says it will be unable to reach its 2020 European renewables goal through domestic action alone. The tiny, landlocked country must import 99% of total energy and more than two-thirds of electricity. With few renewables resources, it plans to rely on a mechanism under the European renewables directive for green energy from outside.
A 2007 study by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute and the Energy Economics Group of Vienna speculated that, at best, renewables would meet 8.2% of total energy supply and 9.8% of electricity in 2020. Wind would produce annual output of just 227GWh, compared to a projected 7.7TWh from onshore wind alone in neighbouring Belgium (Windpower Monthly, March 2009).

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you'd know by now that I'm a great believer of the PRAYER WHEEL. In fact, I've written it a number of times, one of which is entitled – THE POWER OF A PRAYER WHEEL – and another time I shared about its power in a post entitled – A PERSONAL TESTIMONY: TAPPING INTO BUDDHISM, TAOISM, AND FENG SHUI FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME OF A DELICATE SITUATION.
Today, I would like to once again tell you about a recent miraculous experience that I had about the powers of the Prayer Wheel.
I recently went to Cebu where we're to have a big event. However, two days before the event we were told by the organizers that we haven't been granted a permit by the mayor of Cebu City and Mandaue City. We need their permit because we are suppose to bike around both cities.
This created a lot of angry heads because all of us has been unintentionally misled that there'd be no problem in getting the permit. With two days before the event, and it being a Friday afternoon, our event is on a Sunday, everybody was hopeless and not very optimistic that we'll still be able to get the permit.
Not pushing through with the event is going to be a big disgrace to all the companies involve because we've flown in some media from Manila to cover the event, invited all the media in Cebu also to cover the event, and most of all, the foreign principals of the companies involve flown in from their respective countries just to be at the event.
After some bickering and a number of threat to go to court, some of us has convinced the group to let cooler heads prevail and to discuss what we can do. The group agreed that there's nothing else we can do except to go to the respective LGUs involve and ask for the permit. But then again we came to that decision because there's really nothing else that we can do, but we also know that we've got nothing to lose in trying again. Nobody thought of verbalizing that it's already a Friday afternoon (2pm).
It was decided that we'd separate ourselves into 2 groups. I together with one of my client will go to the office of the mayor of Cebu City, while my assistant and another group of client will go to the office of the mayor of Mandaue City.
I didn't put up much hope that we'll accomplish anything but as mentioned we've got nothing to lose. I'm just happy that I'm wearing my WISH FULFILLING AND BUDDHA'S BLESSING MANTRA PENDANT, which has the Victory Banner.
As mentioned in my previous posts, the VICTORY BANNER or BANNER OF VICTORY is a very good Feng Shui tool of Buddhist origin to help ensure that we will be successful in our endeavors.
However, I also note, that the VICTORY BANNER is not really the charm for getting luck in last minute situations like this. Nevertheless, I'm also fortunate enough to be wearing my PRAYER WHEEL pendant!
So while we were on our way to the office of the mayor of Cebu City, I kept on spinning my PRAYER WHEEL pendant, at the same alternately chanting the mantra(if you want to know more about mantras, do read my post entitled – Mantra: The Instrument to Tap the Power of Symbolic Sound, Script, and Thought) OM MANI PADME HUM and mentally stating the intent, which is to be able to get a permit. My clients were asking me what am I doing, whether I'm trying to invoke some miracle, and all I said is that yes I'm trying to invoke some miracle. They laugh a little but also said that they hope it works.
When we got to Cebu City Hall, we saw the mayor coming out of building. We felt compelled to approach him, thankfully he has very few security and they're not very tight, and I was able to talk to introduce myself, tell him about our dilemma and that we desperately need a permit. He didn't really ask for a lot of details but instructed a guy to call up the City Administrator to inform him that he the mayor has given the permit, all he they need to do is to prepare and expedite the paper works!!!
One down! My clients all said that the 'magic' seems to be working. We also decided that they will stay and wait for the permit and that I should join the other group who at that time was told that the mayor that they want to see is currently in a meeting and won't be able to see them until early evening. Before I left, my clients jokingly told me to keep on spinning the pendant and create another magic.
On my way to Mandaue City, I decided to continuously spin my prayer wheel pendant and again I continuously chant the mantra of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, which is OM MANI PADME HUM, and alternately mentally stating the intent.
When I got to Mandaue City Hall, I saw the other group still waiting to be escorted inside. At that time, there's nothing else we can do but except to wait, and from time to time plead that we be allowed to see the mayor. After about 15 minutes after I got there, an elderly woman came out to ask us why do we need to see the mayor or the city administrator. My assistant explained the situation, and why do we need to have the event. She went inside again, telling us to wait while she checks out what she can do. Nobody went to see us again for the next 30 minutes and we were all losing hope, although, I still kept on spinning my prayer wheel. 45 minutes after the lady left us she came out with a piece of paper, and informed us that we have the permit!!!!
Needless to say everybody was happy! The event was very successful, and those who said hurtful things at the heat of the moment started apologizing. Those who were at the receiving end of the hurtful words accepted the apologies and there were two people who requested that I get them a prayer wheel and several of them asked me about the prayer wheel.
My prayer wheel pendant is from Nepal and has been with me for several years now. I've been thinking of replacing it for quite some time now because it is no longer in the best condition and the top has started to dislodge. Although, I must say that it is still very powerful and effective. However, on that same trip I went to Shangri-La Mactan, and while I was monkey-ing around with some friends at the beach side I lost balance got dipped in the water while still wearing my prayer wheel pendant. I guess that's a clear sign that I should get a new prayer wheel…and I will because the Prayer Wheel is one of the most powerful Buddhist tools that can be use as a Feng Shui amulet, available to us!!!

'Teen Mom 2' Star Leah Messer -- I Got JUMPED By 3 Violent Chicks
'Teen Mom 2' Star I Got JUMPED By 3 Violent Chicks
"Teen Mom 2" star Leah Messer was brutally attacked by 3 women outside of a movie theater in West Virginia this weekend ... multiple sources tell TMZ.
19-year-old Leah is telling friends and family ... she had just left the theater with her fiance Sunday night when an older woman began following her and calling her names.
We're told Leah insists she tried to tell the woman to leave her alone ... when 2 other girls appeared out of nowhere and the three chicks opened a can of whoopass all over Leah's face.
Sources say Leah's fiance, and a security guard, managed to pull the three women off the MTV star ... and got out of the area.
TMZ obtained a photo of Leah's face following the brawl ... which shows a swollen cheek and redness on her neck and chest.
We're told Leah did not recognize any of her attackers ... but Leah's mother has since gone to Twitter in an effort to try and identify the assailants.
Sources say Leah plans to follow up with police later today to file a report.
Stay tuned ...
